Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 86.9% of votes; the other 73 candidates 12.1% between them.

    (2,08,728 + 1,58,005) ÷ 4,21,877 = 86.9% · 51,119 ÷ 4,21,877 = 12.1%

  2. Turnout of 46.6% was 1.6 pp below the state's median seat (48.2%).

    46.6 − 48.2 = −1.6

  3. The margin narrowed from 21.7 pp in 1989 to 12.0 pp.

    12.0 − 21.7 = −9.7 pp

  4. Madan Lal Khurana also won in 1989.

    1989 winner name = 1991 winner name
